VB Games and Fun Page

Welcome to the
VB games and fun page!

A lot of people might
think that VB is not a suitable programming language for games. Well, though
there might be some limitations in VB regarding games programming and animation,
we can actually construct some very good games and fun programs in VB if we
put in a lot of thought and time in it. You can program casino games like
slot machine, board games like snake and ladder chess, educational games , games
that test your IQ, multimedia players and so on.

To design a game or fun
program, we need to come out with an idea first, then we need to sit back and
think over it. Ideas can be obtained through Internet, other media sources, and
from gamers themselves etc. After that , we need to write out a draft
program and try it out. We should always start with one small component
of the program and if that is working, then we should proceed to
programme other components and then combine them together. You should
always have a VB book in hand for referencing, you can get a copy of Visual
Basic 6 Made Easy ,
the instructions are clear and comprehensive.

Games programming is
very satisfying if your programs work. Furthermore, you could learn a great
deal of programming logics by doing game programming because the procedures are
often very complex, you need to look up for references every now and then. I
find that the book Step by Step VB6 is especially useful.

I have programmed all
the following programs myself and I have also included their codes in text
form. If you want the source codes, please email me at
liewvk@vbtutor.net or download the source codes from the main page by
donating $2.00. Your comments are welcome so that I can improve on these
programmes.
